What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the WGN America cable channel, the Outsiders TV show follows the Farrell clan. High in the rugged hills of Appalachian Kentucky, this tight-knit isolationist family of renegades has lived atop Shay Mountain for over two hundred years. The Farrells are constantly at odds with those who live outside of their community. The cast includes Joe Anderson, David Morse, Ryan Hurst, Gillian Alexy, Kyle Gallner, Thomas M. Wright, and Christina Jackson.
Season Two Ratings
The second season of The Outsiders averaged a 0.21 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 772,000 viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 28% in the demo and down by 6% in terms of average total audience size. Find out how The Outsiders stacks up against the other WGN America TV shows.
On April 14, 2017, The Outsiders was cancelled. Sony to shop the third season around. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
WGN America is still pretty new to producing original series. Consider Salem, which was cancelled in December of 2016. Its third and final season averaged a 0.08 in the demo and 259,000 viewers. Similarly, WGN’s cancelled Manhattan TV series finished with a 0.03 in the demo and an average a total audience of 239,000. For now, I’m inclined to think Outsiders has a way to fall, before it is in real danger of cancellation. I’m okay with that. The Farrells look a bit too grimy for even me to eat.
4/14 Update: Outsiders has been cancelled by WGN America, amidst rumors the network is being sold off. Details here.

The only reason I watch WGN is to see the OUTSIDERS !!! I won’t be watching it anymore…. I don’t have words to describe how angry and shocked I am. AMC PLEASE PICK UP This FANTASTIC SERIES!!!!! OR ANY OTHER NETWORK That APRICIATES GOOD TV SERIES.
Shame on you WGN LONG LIVE “The OUTSIDERS ” {GED GED YAA}For EVERY AND EVERY!!!!!
I love love love this series, I definitely want to see a 3rd season of the outsiders. I look forward to watching it on Tuesday night. I have the season 1 dvd and have pre ordered season 2.
My entire family loves The Outsiders. We look forward to watching each episode. We watch the repeats as well. Love the actors, especially the sheriff and we love the storyline.
CANCELLED OUTSIDERS WAS A HORRIBLE DECISION FOR WGN. I’LL NEVER WATCH ANYTHING ON IT AGAIN. THIS IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV
Hell yeah great series one of the best ever !
Such a great show. I’m sure it’ll be picked up by Amazon or Netflix. Please don’t leave us hanging….
The “Outsiders” is a great show!! I hope they find another home for it!
One of the best series I’ve ever seen!
Love this show
Why would anyone possibly cancel this show, it the highest rated show on this network? This has to be someone marking their territory and I have to believe it is purely political. Put the politics aside and do what is right and KEEP IT ON THE AIR! If nothing else I hope SONY finds someone else to pick it up so I can take my viewing elsewhere since WGN is too ignorant to keep it running……
PLEASE DO NOT Cancel Outsiders!!! It is an AMAZING. show. I watch Vikings and I lOVE outsiders sooooooo much more!! DO NOT CANCEL OUTSIDERS!!!!!!
Please don’t cancel this entertaining, original show! There’s nothing like it and it’s one of the few shows that I make a point to watch each and every week.
